1.     The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.

2.     Votes "for" include discretionary votes.

3.     A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

4.     The number of ordinary shares in issue at 11.00 am on 19 July 2022
was 578,757,121 of which none are held in treasury. Therefore the number of
